Suicide Mistaken for Halloween Decoration<br />Oct 27 3:43 PM US/Eastern<br /> Email this story <br />FREDERICA, Del.<br /><br />The apparent suicide of a woman found hanging from a tree went unreported for hours because passers-by thought the body was a Halloween decoration, authorities said.<br /><br />The 42-year-old woman used rope to hang herself across the street from some homes on a moderately busy road late Tuesday or early Wednesday, state police said.<br /><br />The body, suspended about 15 feet above the ground, could be easily seen from passing vehicles.<br /><br />State police spokesman Cpl. Jeff Oldham and neighbors said people noticed the body at breakfast time Wednesday but dismissed it as a holiday prank. Authorities were called to the scene more than three hours later.<br /><br />"They thought it was a Halloween decoration," Fay Glanden, wife of Mayor William Glanden, told The (Wilmington) News Journal.<br /><br />"It looked like something somebody would have rigged up," she said.

Ya, I heard about that Roscoe. Maybe they were letting her age a bit before taking her to processing! :D

Now that is about as cavalier a response as I could have thought up. /edit: post out of context and out of sequence... :eek

Crab Bait<br /><br />Some call this lower Delaware, but we call it slower lower Delaware. We even have tee shirts to that effect.
